Black Band!!!!!

i LOVE that smile!

watching and waiting for Braden:)

While we were at Nonny and Poppy's house Braden practiced swimming across the pool. As soon as we came back he decided he was ready to test for his black belt (again). This time he did everything he needed to do and we were all SOOOO proud of him for trying so hard and getting his black band!!! All his friends were there to congratulate him too! He has enjoyed going down the slides, but loves to swim in the deep end too. Braden has come SO far from a month ago...I'm so proud of you bud!! I still can't believe that my boy is a swimmer!

The kiddos took swimming lessons with Caden all winter/spring so it was only fitting that he and Braden got their bands on the same day! We were all so proud of Caden and loved cheering him on! Braden and Caden went down the slide together over and over and were just beaming. We decided to celebrate their awesome swimming with ice cream!
